Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #Romance(23)

Look. Story telling is amazing and so was the ending. But they literally skipped a few moments which would have been so sweet to add in, and though I usually wouldn't mention that, the reason I AM mentioning it, is because this whole damn comic is so goddamn depressing!!! It's dealing with important topics and shows many issues. Plus, the story telling was genuinely incredible, with the way everything was revealed through the past, interlinking with the future. But this vibe wasn't for me. A bit too dark, is all. Good comic. But not a nice comic. If you can take that stuff better than me (Most people will, I am just a sensitive person) then I recomend this as a read, you won't regret it. But for me, it would have been nice to get bit of a warning about the misery I had to go through while reading this. But rest assured, the ending is by no means a tragic one.

Story simple af, ending very much the romantic wholesomeness I look for. But some stuff that wasn't the romance itself went kinda overshadowed. Some stuff should have been delved into. But as I know, I can be a pussy, so I apreciate them not going into too much detail with the final issue which had been revealed in the very end, even though that was pretty important. Anyway. Lighthearted, short fun.

Actually fucking loved the smut. Usually webtoons can't do it for me, but this one does. Story isn't super out there, but funny and had the perfect simplicity-to-complexity. First time I LOVED the girls in a yaoi with a passion, would have loved to see more of the two girls. Honestly, Leo can go fuck himself XDXD Don't like that bastard, but whatever. I should have listened to my gut about the kind of guy he was, lol, because it was proven right in the before-last chapter XDXD I am never wrong about yaoi characters. Story was more important in the very begining?? Later on it became a side-piece. Main couple felt compatible and issues weren't dragged out like gum, so this is honestly great fast entertainment. Not LONG, but should take two sittings. Or one drawn-out one. Good. Just not amazing in any way, apart from the enjoyment XD

Great fucking romance development. Love the resolution. Not rushed at all. Relationship felt comfortable to watch and the characters were lovely, without needing to seem super unique. Something felt like it was missing because of how short it was, but the story it is is the absolute best it could possibly have been made.

Honestly, first manga I've given a four to. They made the ugly characters look ugly and the handsome characters look handsome, so points for that. It went darker at some points and I honestly couldn't take it, but the way things always resolved was cute. I liked the length of the webtoon and the diversity of the couples, though I wish they'd have gone a bit deeper on the fatso and narcissist couple, they were my fave. But of course, we got attatched to the main couple. The characters weren't entirely... fixed? Sure, people change, but the red-head main couple guy does a full 180 in personality and just shows us a completely different character a l o t. And though that gave him... /Kinda/ depth and "character developmment", I definitely think it could have been done better. But this manga isn't bad at all. Honestly only issue I had with it, that wasn't personal. Personally, I couldn't take a lot of the stuff they were showing about being bullied and the guy's backstories, haha..ha. But other than that, it was honestly awesome! It felt unique! The author had something they were personally exploring (it felt like) and that gave a great vibe! Though the characters felt a little inconsistent... I didn't mind! Because it was the only flaw, which also seemed like just a result of a personal story-telling style. Not a five, because though it was good and definitely hit in me in some nice spots, it didn't "Wow~~ Holy hell~<3" me. It was great for absolutely everything, which is why I gave it what I did, without it hitting exactly home for me. I could see it was honestly good, with just enough gay and fun and solving personal shit to satisfy me, without really giving me a personaly connestion to it. But probably wouldn't re-read it. Unless.... Hey! Future me!!! If you want to re-read, just KEEP IN MIND!!!! EVERYTHING! A L W A Y S!! Turns out FINE!!!! As it does in life ;) Just trust that you'll be fine with this one. And I cannot STRESS how much I love the diversity in the couples and character developments! It was awesome, they're definitely something to look forward to! Good luck, sis!!

Great for re-reads. Amazing seme, amazing uke, constant C O N S E N T and a wonderful portrayal of loving rope-play. Some "Master~" calling, but done deeply lovingly without them ever feeling subservient. Wonderful "love yourself" message that was small and sweet, but whatever. Sad backstory for Seme yakuza, but he is so goddamn loving, it's insane XDXD No stupid misunderstandings between them and are always loving, even while not in a relationship, but fucking. So all in all, fucking phemomenal couple with wonderful balance between the characters. Definitely recomend for re-reads and is short enough for a one-sitter, though recomend a cut-off in the middle. Just always remember everything will turn out fine, and enjoy the sweetness of the seme while the rope artist goes full batshit "FEEL THE LOVE YOU DESSERVE OF YOURSELF" on him and it's heartwarning. But not in a deep way to make you cry. Light and upfront story, with nice deepness to it.

So. Much. Consent. Amazing. I SWEAR THIS SHOULD BE DONE SO MUCH MORE!!! Also, definitely recomend it to be a re-read, after it's been forgotten a bit, though. Because it's very mellow for a yaoi manga. Also, don't come here for the smut. Barely anything shown and always cuts off, but it wasn't the focus-point of this anyway, so I don't mind. No huge twists in the end, no massive concerns, no over-blown misunderstandings, it's amazing. It did gt a little frustrating at FIRST!! But no pushiness that was over the top. The Seme was going after the Uke at the beginning, pinning after them and the Uke was clearly alright with it, though a little annoyingly quiet and reserved about their thoughts. And the Uke Seme thing! Neither felt like they were overpowering the other here!! At ANY point!!!! I loved this. A three, because it was O K A Y!! Look, I loved the sweetness and mellowness of this. Honestly, I am so goddamn gratefull for the opportunity to appreciate the sweetness of a relationship without overt drama T_T T_T Loved it. But there was absolutely nothing there to hook me up in drama or passion. I liked this because it wasn't intense at a time when my own mind feels overpowering, so that was just nice.

Umm, feels like they didn't go deep enough with... anything. Cute! Oh, hell yeah, cute. But: No sex, When the lover's protective, it's shown in this light-hearted way, (which is fine! But was just another thing not seriously done.) the "bad guy" doesn't seem like a bad guy (again! Which is fine!! But it seemed they wanted to make him feel like an actual bad guy). Romance was cute, with when the misunderstandings were resolved, it being awkward but not that bad. Second couple... wasn't even a couple yet. Which isn't a bad idea for a webtoon tbh, not bad at all. But it was just executed in a way which seems half-assed to me now. And though I'm shitting on it this much, I'll be real, it never felt like a bad manhwa. I wouldn't care to re-read it again, but hey. If you do, no problems, /really/, it'll just feel very "mid", as Joey would say XD.

I need to re-read this again in a clearer state of mind to apreciate it properly.... But here I go. These characters had their little bit of hitches in their relationship before they started going out and it was given good screentime and a good portion of the story to feel relevant, without dragging it through mud and making it frustrating. So, good conflict, while keeping it with the "soft bl" vibe. Which is what the author intended! I didn't see anything unnecessary in this story really, with a lot of sweet moments. A LOT. And them falling for each other seemed to progress naturally and slowly, while giving just the right amount of sweet moments. Though MC DID fall a little fast, in my opinion, when it came to just feeling attracted. Not that that was a bad thing. I was just caught off guard. So I'd say apart form the very beginning, which felt a little (JUST A LITTLE) rushed to get to the romance (Though it would have been interesting to just jump in. That could be a good way to write a romance.... I should try it.) Anyway, it was good after that. Phenomenal, even. Loved it. Super super soft and sweet, apart from the rush in the beginning, everything went smoothly without feeling bland at all. The issues just felt a little "meh" to me, but that's a personal view on the world thing, I'd say. So yeah! I definitely need to re-read this again to feel the full potential of this! I feel like I missed it this time around because of my own head getting in the way. So my three star rating may change to a four some time

Needa be in a better head-space to judge. But here it goes. Simple protagonist and absolutely no issues with the plot. It was perfect. In a way that simply was not to my taste. I loved the romantic vibe between them. I loved their romance, their passion in their love (Not talking about the sex, here, I'm talking about that eternal love) I really thought they were good. Alsooo, I reeaalllyyyyyyyyyyy liked the implementation of jayoung seeing them fucking and lusting after MC ;P ;P It added spice in a way that wasn't getting in the way of the plot (Because it really didn't!!) intriguingly~ Oh and the side cast was alright, too.... It just... Didn't feel /personal/. It didn't have that unique vibe. It was nice. It was sentimental in a cool way, too. But it really felt like something wasn't as it should be. Not saying it wasn't emotional!! I cried at the ending in satisfaction at their reunion in a way that felt real and right, but... Something wasn't MINE. Lolol, beginning is very "Isekai world", all characters paragons of muscly sex-gods, the Yellow Dragon was cliche as a love interest (though he wasn't as brooding as usually they were. He was much MUCH more accesible as a character. Very different in that way. But the design, sexual nature and brooding, posessive protectiveness was cliche as fuq XDXD) O H ! I finally found the problem for me. There was too much action in the bedroom and his dreams, without them actually DOING much together. Apart from conversation and reliving past lives together. They both left the castle on an outing O N C E ! Seriously, not joking. Drama was some there, sure, but.... In the room they were always fucking in. I get that it was actually an important part of the plot, sure. Really, I like that, too. Just a little outside of the bedroom should have been adressed. I think the most interesting moments for this webtoon for me were.... 1. Their meeting and the interesting balance in the protagonist's life between the Dragon and his Family then. How he was clearly enjoying smooshing that sEXY DRAGON D I C K, but also needed to get back to his family in time for his niece's graduation. 2.That wierd bad guy. Seriously, the problem stopped that soon? Really? Why. He wasn't likeable or interesting for a villain, but I do wish they could have done more than just leave it there... If he was even introduced in the first place. His irrelevance to the story makes him feel.... Like a waste of screen-time. Honestly. I think they could have replaced him with something a lot more interesting and it would have been a better use of pages. But that is just a nit-pick, I think the author had their own reasons and I wouldn't dare suggest they shouldn't implement something that they want. 3. The idea of the ending. That him waiting in the end had always been worth it. That he lived out his life happily, savouring the little moments forever while waiting for him and in the end it was worth it. I loved that bit. And I cried when I felt it. Beautiful ending. But, yeah. A lot of it felt too... "webtoon-y". More like the blonde "Oh mi gawd" girls than a real woman, you know? Like that villain chick who immediately looked like the most cliche villain in the world the moment I saw her mouth. Seriously. It's all in the mouth and pointy eyes for the villains. Oh, and sexy outfits for females. Definitely XDXD Anyway, yep. A lot of side-characters felt like regurgetations of webtoon cliches, but I don't have a problem with it at all this time. Why? Because they did their fucking jobs in the story and worked with it well. It didn't feel out of place at all and I am satisfied with seeing them there. That female villain did her job and I didn't need an explination for her, because she just wasn't that kind of character. Same goes for Pig and Rat. And Ox!! They worked. I'm happy with them. Not to mention!! The important characters weren't cliches anyway. They were almost cliches, like what I earlier said about the Yellow Dragon, but hey, even the MC was... FINE the way he was almost classical MC. All in all, the story was fine. Just felt like it wasn't my style, which is why this rating is a personal one for me. I definitely do not regret reading this, I think that was a great decision on my part. But this story is not for re-reads for me, as there's just too much that feels cliche, I'm sorry. 5/10
